Markdown preview pane failing to interpret HTML entities

April 9, 2020, 10:25 am

I'm starting to edit a lot of markdown documents, and I'm recommending Visual Studio as a markdown editor/previewer to the people who do the writing. One writer reports that the preview pane doesn't interpret HTML entities. If he writes "find the&lt;div&gt; tag" the preview pane displays "find the &lt;div&gt; tag" instead of "find the <div> tag."

I told him that he probably clicked the wrong icon and opened a split editing pane instead of a preview pane. He says he didn't do that, and sent me a screen shot that proves he didn't.

I'm baffled. I can't reproduce this. Does anyone know what Visual Studio is doing, and how we can fix it?

Visual Studio 2017 Build Server with Expired License and build components ready for production

Learned today that one of our build servers was running on a 60 day trial of Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 as our Corp software management system failed to link a license to it when auto-installed.  We have now attached a professional license to this build server. 

QUESTION:  Do we need to rebuild all the components that were compiled with the trail license before we release to Production?

Seems like "just do it to be safe"  is the obvious answer, however, these are installers and the current build process is lengthy and still involves several manual steps, so not a easy recompile process (3-4 dev days).

Thank you

I am trying to install the Serene template via Visual Studio 2019, however, there is no option for "Online" anymore.  Is this not supported in Visual Studio 2019?  I believe it was supported in 2017 version.

I have Visual Studio 2019 installed on my machine with
C++ v14.24 MFC for v142 build tools (x86 & x64)

C++ v14.24 ATL for v142 build tools (x86 & x64)

I am attempting to build an legacy  application but I am getting the following error:


MSB8031    Building an MFC project for a non-Unicode character set is deprecated. You must change the project property to Unicode or download an additional library. See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=286820 for more information.


When this error occurs it directs me to a help page which encourages me to get the MFC MBCS DLL Add-on, but this is only available for Visual Studio 2013, not Visual Studio 2019 and will not install.


Changing the Character set to Multibyte isn't working but I need to stay with multibyte character set. Please suggest.

Hello! In the last couple of days, I've been getting KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE BSOD when i stop debugging my application in Visual Studio 2019.

It doesn't happen anytime, but it's not that rare either, i'll say its 4/10 chances to get the BSOD.

I'm not sure what is causing the problem. It happened 2 times, and if I stop debugging again, I'm sure the problem continues.

first bsod: I can't put links

second bsod: I can't put links, if you know how to verify, please help me! I tried replying to another question but I still cant put links.

Hi, I compiled the a C++ project by Visual Studio 2019 under Windows 10 system, it lasted 6 minutes. Then I compiled the same project, same settings, same PC but under Windows 7 (dual boot). That compilation lasted 3 minutes.  What could be the cause of it?

VS 2019 autocomplete not working as well as it did in 2017

Visual Studio 2019's automatic syntax correction is not working as well as it used to. For example, if I type "guid" then press space, in VS 2017 it would correct this to "Guid"; however, in 2019 it keeps it how I typed it instead of correcting it. Is there some sort of setting that I can change to bring back the old (seemingly smarter) auto-correct of 2017?

Multy Treading and MessageBox.

 Hi All,

In my application, (C#), the user can do a file backup operation.

The user chooses the backup directory (using filedialogue) and then clicks OK.

I need messages to be displayed during the various stages of the backup operation.

For example:

1) Creating backup directory

2) Checking files.

3) Backup successful.

Of course I have  discovered that  Message box stops the tread. And this cannot be done this way.

I an engineer not a programmer, but i have investigated the two possible solutions.

First one was 'BackgroundWorker' and the other was 'Multytreading'.

I got completely confused and frustrated during my investigation. It is much more complicated than i expected.

Which function is more appropriate for this task? Is there a simpler way to do this?

I need your help, please.

Regards

How to obfuscate a C# program?

The obfuscator that comes with Visual Studio has a deserved reputation for being of little utility. What better options are available?

Dotfuscator is free (which is nice) but not particularly effective. That's a no go.

Oreans.com's Code Virtualizer has a good reputation. 99 euro's is not a terrible price. Anyone have any experience with it?

Ditto LogicNP Software's Crypto Obfuscator goes for $299. Is it worth it?

Any other ideas?

Visual Studio Community licensing

I am currently using VS 2019 Community edition.

I would like to create a windows app for where I work. I'm not being paid to create this app for the company. I'm doing only for the purpose of making my job easier and maybe a couple of other people's jobs easier.

Can I create this app using community edition where I work if there is no exchange of money?

I won't even be using SQL Server. I will use Access 2013 for the DB since everybody in the company has this installed on their computer. However, if later I can get permission to connect to SQL Server database on the company server, does that change the rules as well as far as licensing is concerned?

Hi,

First of all, please know that I am not a MS Visual Studio user.  I am a user of Quickbooks Desktop Enterprise V. 20 and use the Intuit Report Writer.  We recently migrated from a hosting network to a managed cloud based filer server.  I have been creating Statement Writer reports and experiencing the follow message since we changed hosting environments. Does any one know how to solve the message below?

Microsoft Office Document Customization

The document might not function as expected because the following control is missing:  Sheet2.  Data that relies on this control will not be automatically displayed or updated, and other custom functionality will not be available.  Contact your administrator or the author of the document for further assistance.  

I have contacted Quicbooks support and they have not been able to resolve.  I posted a message on the QB community board, no luck there as well.

Automatically cloning a project while stripping objects from cloned project?

April 13, 2020, 6:46 am

I want to create a reference design that is a subset of a larger project.   I can clone that project and remove all the objects from it to manually create the subset, but then as time goes on I have to maintain two code-bases as features are added and changes made, etc.   

It would be great if there was a way to clone the larger project but have the clone omit objects (and associated code) during that cloning operation.  That way I could simply re-run that operation every time I wanted to refresh the reference design.  Since I want to provide source code for the reference design and DON'T want that source code to include code from the larger design (even if inactive or disabled) I need to strip out the unused code somehow (and would prefer not to have to do that manually each time, or as I said maintain 2 code bases).

Any thoughts as to how this might be accomplished?  Is there some 3rd party tool to help with this or some way of doing this?

Thanks,

Dave.

Problem in designer while creating a new window in a WPF project in Visual Studio 2010.

Hello,

Whenever I'm trying to create a new window in a WPF project (C# or VB) in Visual Studio 2010, it fails to load the designer of the window and shows an error describing: "Could not load type 'Microsoft.Expression.DesignModel.Core.ISharedInstanceBuilder' from assembly 'Microsoft.Expression.DesignModel, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'".

However, I've Visual Studio 2017 installed in my PC too. But it doesn't show this message and WPF projects open and run just fine in it. Even, my WinForms projects in Visual Studio 2010 run absolutely fine. The problem is with WPF projects only.

Here's a screenshot of the error:

Why am I getting this error in Visual Studio 2010 and how do I solve this problem? Please help.

Priyam
